Doris Salcedo





Exhibition: Doris Salcedo Shibboleth
Location: Tate Modern
Dates: 9th October - 6th April

The new crack in the Turbine Hall is a strange sight indeed. It starts as a hairline fissure from the door as you enter amd ends at the very end of the hall after winding its way in a giant zig zag across the space. The mystery of how this was done leaves many people on hands and knees peering into the gap. I expect by the end of the week they'll be hoovering small children out of it. Brilliant. How do we think it was made? I personally go for the act of god/wizard option, but it's well worth seeing it for yourself and having a think.

I'm leaning towards them pouring a whole new temporary floor with the a mould used to keep the crack unfilled. My girlfriend went to a "silent rave" there last week, it becomes even more bizarre when you see a couple of hundred people with walkmans on dancing around it.
